Actor Sonu Sood responds to criticism after travelling to flood-hit Nepal to support people affected by the disaster. He faces allegations from journalist Ajit Anjum that his trip amounts to “self-marketing” because Sood posts updates on social media. Anjum also questions why Sood shared attention from early on while relief work had not yet begun.
In reply, Sood does not escalate the dispute. He addresses Anjum as “brother” and invites him to come to Nepal so the two can “work together.” Sood continues to post videos and photos showing his activities on the ground, including walking through flood-affected areas and describing damage along the Trishuli River, where he says floodwaters left “broken homes, broken families, and lives changed forever.”
Sood also speaks about the relief effort’s focus and scope. He tells ANI he prioritizes meeting flood victims, assessing what they need, and sending aid—reported as food and blankets—from India. Sources also cite the scale of the disaster, including Nepal’s rising death toll and missing persons, alongside ongoing relief planned beyond the immediate aftermath.
